The primary election is around the corner, and voting has begun for all of the early birds out there.

Every registered voter in California should have already received a vote by mail ballot sometime over the past two weeks. That ballot can be filled out and dropped in the mail with no postage necessary, but must be postmarked by Election Day.

Alternately, the ballot can be taken to any vote by mail drop box, including the two Claremont locations, by the Yale Avenue entrance of the public library and near the entrance to the Hughes Center on Danbury Road.

For traditionalists, in-person voting begins on May 28 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through June 6. On Election Day, June 7, polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Claremont’s vote center is at Taylor Hall, 1775 N. Indian Hill Boulevard. Vote by mail ballots can also be dropped off at the vote center.

For more information, please contact the City Clerk’s office at (909) 399-5460. On the night of the election real time results can be found at lavote.gov.
